More Than Just a Work Tool

Our custom timers are incredibly versatile - perfect for implementing timeboxing or EMOM sessions. Here are creative ideas to get started:

  1. The 15-Minute Tidy-Up: Set a timer for 15 minutes and see how much you can clean in that time. It turns a daunting chore into a fun challenge.
  2. Social Media Limits: Want to spend less time scrolling? Set a timer for your social media use. When it goes off, you're done for the day.
  3. Practicing a Skill: Whether it's a musical instrument or a new language, consistent practice is key. Use a timer to ensure you get your daily practice in.
  4. Kids' Screen Time: A timer is a clear, impartial referee for your kids' screen time.
  5. Reading Sprints: Want to read more? A 20-minute reading sprint every day can help you get through your book list.
